- Part of the ending of the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, taken from a different perspective, track side inside the centre of the Olympic Stadium.
Wonderful! What a brilliant opening ceremony and the lighting of the cauldron was just perfect!
So proud of that cauldron, so much significance in the coming together of the 205 petals/countries, just made me so happy!
Brilliant video, thank you for sharing. You're so lucky to have been there.
I was absolutely elated when they used Pink Floyd to finish it off, perfect song to bring it to a close
Bloody brilliant - thanks for recording this, and posting it for us to enjoy. :-)
Wow, the atmosphere is just amazing!
Eclipse. Awesome. i always thought that was THEEEE best fireworks song
Congratulations for post a video so beautiful! Thank you!
i've always thought that the musical transition between brain damage and eclipse was huugee! especially with the hammond b3 organ and leslie speaker! i've always thought that a sweet light and pyro show would be sweet for that transition...i dont think pink floyd really exaggerated the organ live or the show from song to song. i'm glad they did that because i've been imaging something like this for a long time and it was amazing! thanks for posting the vid!
life saver! I was desperate to find out the name of that song :D thanks and great video
Be proud Great Britain.... We done good , i thought we would mess it up... but .... praise where praise is due , We put on a great show
This opening ceremony was utterly attrocious
Yeah it was a surreal and amazing night in the mosh pit, spectacular view and atmosphere, only problem was for 5 hours there was nowhere to get a drink or take a leak! : )
And in the end... The love you take, is equal to the love. You make...
WOW! you are so lucky...that must have been amazing! :D
Eclipse+The End
Mind blowing! That was just amazing!
Yeah it was great to be so close on the track but I bet you also saw lots of stuff we couldn't from down there.. What a surreal amazing night!! thanks for the comment mate.
oh hey i was in that pit area as well i seriously had goosebumps at thiis moment
BEYOND JEALOUS!!!
Well done London !!
Congratulations
@petergeorgehill it forms part of a piece of music called 'And I will kiss' by Undwrworld and is track 4 on the 'Isles of Wonder' Olympic album occurring about 8 mins in!
everything under the sun is in tune!!!!
Say what you want but I had tears in my eyes when I saw this - then, and now. Incredible.
When I heard Nick Mason was to be at the closing I screamed at my neighbors in excitement.
E S P E C T A C U L A R... torch lighting + Pink Floyd's Eclipse what a combination!!!
Cheers for watching, really glad you liked the video.
The song by the way is Calibans Dream by underworld and the singer is Alex Trimble
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the nice comment : )
Eclipse, just fucking awesome..................
Hi I think it's 'Calibans Dream' by Underworld. I think it'll be on the Olympic Soundtrack or on itunes, or probably on youtube if you search..
Thanks :)
Eclipse.. Very good :)
Hi, it was a standing area right next to the stage. Tickets were free as someone couldn't make it and had 2 spare, so just got really lucky to get them. I could no way afford what they might have been sold for! Yeah the torch was actually a lot further away than that and also it was raised quite high so to see that part of the stage was impossible.
Obrigado!
There are two tracks in the video: Floyd's original, album version of Eclipse (plus fireworks), and 'Caliban's Dream' which was composed specially by Underworld and is for sale in the official 'Isles of Wonder' soundtrack album.
I suggest you pay for them, properly - or you'll have many enemies.
Hi, I think Danny Boyle is going to release a feature-length cut of the opening ceremony soon so everything will be on that I'm sure.
I was getting *really* pissed off that Pink Floyd hadn't even been mentioned in the 'Music' section of the event....so when this hit me out of nowhere, I was obviously more than pleased :D
ok so you actually have me in this XD HA
biggest chills ran down my spine when eclipse started playing
Wow..Eclipse!!!
When Eclipse played, I got on my knees and shouted "THEY LISTENED TO ME!"
Wow, over 50,000 views for my video!! I thought it might only get a few hundred... Guess the Olympics is a really popular search at the moment. Thanks to everyone that watched/enjoyed it and for the cool comments. LOL people really love Pink Floyd eh? peace to all youtubers. - Dan
It's ironic how one day later was supposed to be Rick's 69th birthday
That's what I meant, until Eclipse came on it looked like that was the only 'Floyd we were going to get, and that was far below recommended daily intake :D
I wish! cheers
I feared the same, then they got the best slot of the night.
Alex Trimble from Two Door Cinema Club sand the opening song... and i freakin' missed it :/
Eclipse
ITS BEEN FOUR YEARS SINCE BEIJING?!?!?!?!
i was half expecting David Tennant to show up and light the torch with the runner or something
Doctor who. look it up
"Eclipse" from Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" album
Can someone help me out? I really want to find/know the name of the piece of music that played when there was a moment of silence for the war I believe, the visuals in the stadium went dusty orange and it was a really serious moment. It was a spooky kinda ethereal piece of music thanks
Can anyone find a recording of this version? It's beautiful :)
There was another Floyd reference in Boyle's earlier video fromt he ceremony ;-)
Hi, I think it's:
Underworld - Caliban's Dream
FUCK FUCK FUCK I MISSED THAT!!!!!!!!!!! :(
Just came here to hear Eclipse :)
@D74ism Are you one of the athletes? nice video
Your seats were amazing. When did you buy them and how much were they? Also, why were you looking at the screen the whole time? The torch is like 5 feet to your left! You couldn't see the people when they went up there but once the torched was lit you could see the flames on the ground. Idk if you say the torch go up or not though.
me too!
There's no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark
+Leo Sanchez The only thing that makes it look alight, is the sun.
It was amazing being so close to everything, I got really lucky getting tickets. Thanks for watching.
Where u at in the vid? good spot : ) yeah was definitely a goosebump moment.
pink floyd and fireworks - TERRIFIC
Okay if anyone remembers they were some drumming involved does anyone know where I can get the video from please???
Actually, I don't see "Illuminati Eyes" everywhere. I just happened to notice it and it looks exactly like the All Seeing Eye. I was just asking if anybody noticed it lol.
Pink floyd forever and ever
No but it was still a nice nod and obviously it didn't need to be a big one with him using Eclipse for the finale. Just a shame they didn't end the show there and had to wheel McCartney out
Our American friend was obviously impressed with the way the Chinese had to bus thousands of people into their Olympics because nobody was interested or could afford to attend. The best bit of beijing for me was having that little girl mime at the Opening Ceremoby because the Chinese didn't consider the actual singer to be pretty enough. How very totalitarian. How very controlling. Our American friend seems to like that sort of thing doesn't he!
BERLIN '36 FTW!!! LOL
Does anyone know what the music is at the beginning?
What's the name of the song playing?
It's Caliban's Dream
Pause at 1:06 notice the IIluminati eye.. ?
BUT THE SUN IS ECLIPSED BY THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, my iphone ran out of juice right there
pink floyd nailed it
What's an illumintai eye?
Pink Floyd needed to be played
lucky you:)
Really sad pink floyd didn't reunite just one more time for the closing ceremony
Caliban's Dream
: )
Fair enough, but it was still a million times better than the lazy total non-event of Atlanta '96.
The torch lighting this year sucked. I stayed up late to watch it, and when i saw it i was like "was that the lighting?" i really got disspointed.
must have been so good, especially without Hew Edward and his ego ruining it
THE BEST OF OLIMPYC GAMES: PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!
False, the doctor lit it
they fucked up,it should end it with pink floyd - eclipse
chale pinches iluminatis!!!
Yeah, but it was hardly an effort was it.
So is your spelling.
nice grammar...
Dont talk rubbish ***Simples *** :)
Yeah, he is quite annoying : )
Jealousy is very ugly thing. How did your athletes do this year?? LOL And your newspapers totally disagree with you, so you are a in a minority.
What the name of that song?
Caliban's Dream
